Why Is Organic Fertilizer the Better Option?
When choosing the right fertilizer for your garden, the organic option will always be at the top of our recommendation list. While synthetic fertilizers give plants an immediate boost, they actually do very little to achieve long-term results. Organic fertilizer stimulates soil life, improves soil texture and nurtures fertility for the long haul instead of providing a one-time solution.
Other benefits include:
- Releasing nutrients at a rate plants can use
- Offer a more controlled rate of growth that doesn’t overstimulate plants
- Promotes more robust root growth and builds disease resistance
- Promotes a healthy soil ecosystem for long-term gardening success
Synthetic fertilizers provide a cheap, easy and efficient option in comparison, but they’re not the best option for a deeply nourished garden. They’re much more likely to run off into waterways or onto other plants, often causing irreversible damage through chemical exposure. The organic option mitigates this risk while providing a long-term solution to better soil fertility.
